Your tellin me…. That’s not hugh grant?
But are the pedals first in the chain or is the Avalon di first?
This man plays on a different level, and thats why he's the best
2:39 dead notes
Hugh Grant + Hugo Weaving = Amos
Please correct me if I’m wrong. It looks like he puts his Avalon at the end of his chain, which surprises me.
3:02 Yooo what the hell was that? How?!
This guy could split an atom with a fart
Amos sounds exactly like Peter serafinowicz and I love it
The Elrond of prog metal
Yes
Came to hear about a bass rig, 1 min in now I'm meditating.
Please change strings before you talk tone.
One of my favorite bass players. Just once would love to hear him say, "No, Mister Bond, I expect you to die." ????
Such a badass
Absolutely one of my favorite bass players and favorite bands!
Thanks Lord Elrond
Well… its 2021 not a lot of people gets mooshie down there anymore lol
Wavelength at 200Hz is little bit bigger, than your head, correct. It's 1,7 meters.
Hugh grants brother
Amos and nolly in one room must be incredible
This guy makes the concept of playing bass guitar sound like the name of his band
as soon as i heard the bas tone.

Man, that massive, massive Dystopia slap line. I've been working on that, and I can see that he finds it as addicting as I do

When Jason Mraz started play the base?
5:43
voice crack
But jokes aside I love Amos and Tesseract
I will not say his bass tone is marvelous, but certainly is different, very low mid as he said
Hearing this guy talk, you would think tesseract is the best band ever…
When David Attenborough passes, I vote for Amos to narrate all wildlife documentaries. ????????
So articulate, and he plays so beautifully too. My favourite bass player. ????????
Okay anyone know where I can find this strap though?
at 0:30, is every bass player when you ask them "So you play bass?"
Dang, thx for that 200Hz and ear distance thing. My inner producer and my inner scientist are now kissing eachother! XD
I don't usually like headless basses, but that guitar is GORGEOUS and holy shit that distorted tone!
Anyone knows about the music at 3:00 please ?
He's an orchestral percussionist? Damn, I always pictured him to be classical or jazz bass player outside TesseracT!! I'm a classical percussionist and drum set player, very inspired by Jay from TesseracT but I've always wanted to learn guitar and bass in a more prog context. I guess those techniques can really cross over!!
I take lessons from jay, but man, Amos is a great bassist, cant wait to meet him
Guthrie Govan of bass! In the way he speaks anyways. Thats a compliment by the way.
so many people make fun of him haha
His voice is my ideal bass tone.
Amos' sound is so good… dear lord!
i like the tone
